Just wanted to give a quick shout of joy to all my FS buddies! I've alone on this road for so long and it hasn't helped! I'm happy to be back here on FS doing it the way it has worked for me before! :) My wonderful and supportive boyfriend has joined FS too. He's eaglestron. Sorry to sound all HS Musical, but...we're all in this together! :)

Wow, what a difference of week can make. I realize that I can easily gain pounds by going out to eat...I know most of it is water seeing that my dining out only happened yesterday and Friday, but that is crazy.
Well, I'm starting anew. I'm restarting by removing my previous weigh-ins. I have a separate excel chart that I will continue to track from my real beginning wieght (336lbs).
I realize that the Spike lifestyle is not for me, sorry Russ. My relationship with food hasn't mended enough for me to do that...possibly if I hit a plateau, I might re-visit it. The truth is, I lost 47lbs without plateauing with what I was doing before. I ate 1200-1500 calories with cardio and light weights 4 days a week. The only difference from then and now is that I will bump it up to at least 1500 with cardio and heavy weights 4 days a week. My focus will be more on changing my body composition rather than weight loss. Weight loss will certainly be a side effect, but not the ultimate goal: I want to wear a size 12 by my 29th birthday next October. I honestly don't care what weight I need to be to accomplish that, I just know I would look good. :-)
Also, I seemed to forget that I am a diabetic. My weight got me this diagnosis and my hard work this year brought me to normal blood sugar levels. This was the most exciting part of the 47lbs I lost earlier this year. I brought my sugar down and was taken off 3 out of the 4 meds I was taking. Now, I know I was wrong, but the last time I checked my blood sugar was in June when I was @ 289lb and it was 98 mg/dl...within normal range, I was stoked. I checked it this morning: 193 mg/dl. Not good, not good at all. Although it is a far cry from 374 mg/dl...that was my reading before I started eating better and exercising. This was due to my non-compliance, I wasn't taking my meds...I was, slowly killing myself in a sense. I didn't like who I was and it showed. That Melissa and this Melissa that is typing right now are two DIFFERENT people. I love who I am and know that I have people that love me too and I want to be around to enjoy this earth God created and enjoy my friends and family as well.
So, along with my weekly weigh-ins and monthly measurements I will be accountable to you, my FS buddies, about my blood sugar (BS) on a weekly basis.
Weekly stats:
312 lbs (net -24)
193 mg/dl
Monthly stats:
Navel: 53
Bust: 58
Ribcage: 48
Hips: 54.5
Arm: 16.25
Elbow: 12
Thigh: 29.75
Calf: 17.5
Knee: 17
Neck: 17.5
Ankle: 9

I'm excited about the perfect week challenge that starts on 9/20. I posted my "perfect week" goals on the challenge page and copying it on here too....just so I have easy access to it.
1) 1500-1800 calories a day
2) Do 15 min of HIIT cardio followed by 15 min of moderate cardio in AM on MWFS
3) Do 45 min of weight training in PM on MWFS
4) Do 30 min of moderate cardio in PM on TR
5) Cook every single day, no eating at any kind of restaurant

Well, I'm pretty much at the same place as last week. A few things could've gone wrong with my experiment:
1. I didn't really keep my daily intake at 1374 as I had planned, some days this past week it crept up a little higher, as much as 1700. Which I think normally would be fine if I didn't have a spike day already.
2. I ate out about four times this past week and that always means extra sodium....major water retention possibilites
3. I did cardio 3x this week, but only weight trained once...I missed out on burning major calories.
4. I'm not completely sure I'm doing everything right! LOL I've pre-ordered Russell's book and it won't be shipped until early October (I think). So, for now, I'll just have to follow his blogs and see how to continue.
The plus side: I didn't gain and was able to maintain even when eating a crazy amount of calories on one day.
Here's to this next week...I'm cooking everything I eat this time and making sure to get in the right amount of calories and exercise. Hopefully it will prove more successful this time around. :-)
Have a great week buddies!

I'm excited about this week. I get to put Russell's plan to the test. Yesterday was my first spike day and I wasn't able to double my BMR of 2177. I almost got there, but not quite I think the job was done anyway, lol. So, today and the rest of the week, I'll keep it at 1374 calories a day. I'm looking forward to see the results.
I've updated my profile pic...I was part of a Mary Kay makeup class last night and I felt
purdy
. LOL, so I took a pic and thought it was a suitable replacement.
Tonight is a gym and roomie night. My roommate and I will hit up the gym together and cook a nice tilapia meal while watching Why Did I Get Married Too? through the cable's On Demand. So happy it is available there the first day the DVD is released. :-)
Have a great day buddies!
